Hell they are dumb for thinking the challengers are only for the select few. Well sorry that your company went into BK and stop producing challengers all together, otherwise you would see them all over the place right now. Yeah I know GM went into BK also but at least they didn't stop building camaros. Shit dodge still hasn't started the challenger production line back up yet, well at least thats what my local dodge dealer told me.

Thats why I LOVE this forum. Feels like family when reading all the threads and posts. No one really gets too worked up about one thing or another too bad.

I love GM and will always be a die hard fan till the day I die but I respect other American Car Companies. After all, this is America! Im just glad this forum we can all talk about our love, the Camaro, and compare respectively other American Muscle cars to the Camaro. So let em ban you and bash you. Welcome to Camaro5.com and we are all glad you can join us here!

Another Arizonian member! Woo!

Around here there are buttloads of them. Funny they mention women driving Camaros cause the only STR8 of the bunch that I have seen on the street was being driven by a middle aged woman. Even funnier, I was in the Z06 driving to work and I throw her a thumbs up and as I look over passing by she was picking her nose and didn't even notice I was checking out her ride.

I spent two day's on the challenger site months ago and that was all I could take. haven't been back since.
You said it, I'm the same way, built cars since I was a kid with my brother and dad, not brand specific.

The Challenger was the hottest new car on the street until the Camaro came out.
Now, many Challenger owners are wishing they had waited for the Camaro. Trust me, I know of quite a few guys that wanted Camaro's but just couldn't hold out. So they went and bought a Challenger.

Now they are working overtime trying to justify their decision.

True dat. But they will argue with you that their car gets more attention. LOL

I guess that is good if you are an attention whore, but I would rather have a car that performs AND looks good.

Funny thing is there is not arguing it. When polled the Camaro was the most popular car ever in American car history. So how does the most popular car ever not get more attention then a car that is on temp hold for making right now. They are just insane and need a reason to accept the fact that the challengers just don't stand up to the camaro, although both concepts where shown at the same time. Who's concept keep the hype and was sought after for 3 years. I think we all know the answer to that.

I was the guy that got banned, I have to say that I've never been treated that way by a website. I've also moderated other car websites in the past and would never ban someone without at least a warning. I'm over it but whoever they have moderating over there is a complete SOB. Not that it matters but I'm over 40 and have always been a car guy. I'm glad I found you guys

If you're in a state that plays Powerball, today's a good day to pick up a ticket. If I was to win, I'd have one of each of the Big Three's muscle/pony offerings...top o' the line.

The Challenger owners argue that their car is rare because its production volumes are low. Yeah, right, just like the Pontiac Aztek!

The Challenger is a beautiful car, but it is still a Mopar and people are smart enough to avoid it. It's a shame, if GM built it, they'd be selling 250,000 per year instead of 36,000.

I've bashed on people on here when they chose a Stang over a Camaro...but never feel outraged enough to ban them if I could lol. As long as they buy American...they are still cool in my books.

Well I for one have trouble believing your "story" on why you (rodscamaro) were banned.

Dakota kid has never been banned(threatened to be.... but never banned) and he never holds his tongue (which I respect) ...and he is actually hated (slight exaggeration)by some members on Challengertalk...but he knows I like him

What did you really do?
